My nexus has repeatedly downloaded android system update 4.4.3, but when trying to install it, stopped with a cute picture of a fallen-over robot with an "Error!" triangle coming out of its chest. I've turned it off and on again several times, but don't know what else to try.

I don't think I rooted it, unless I did and didn't do anything with it and completely forgot.

Is it indicative of a hardware problem? Or a virus??

Conversely, the internet seems to have a lot of people saying "don't install 4.4.3". Is that safe? Should I just ignore the problem?

I had something similar due to having Ubuntu dual-booting and getting the procedure a bit wrong at one point. The fix for me was to put the phone into recovery mode and use "adb sideload" from my laptop with a cable attached.

I'm happy to stop by at some point and help you out if you want, as it's a bit elaborate if you haven't done it before ...

Oh, thank you! I've not nothing remotely non-mainstream with my phone at all, I'm not sure if it's still likely that loading the update manually will help. But I would certainly appreciate help trying it.

I don't think there's any rush, I've already ignored the problem for ages. Either next time I'm at yours or you're at mine, or if you wanted to pop round for coffee one evening next week?
